Frequently Asked Questions

How do you hang posters on the wall? 

You might be wondering how to put up your posters in a dorm setting. Command strips work well (I love these special poster strips), but you can also use tape if preferred so long as you don’t have walls that will be ruined by tape marks when the tape is removed. (When in doubt, go for the Command strips!).

How many posters do I need for my wall?

There is no right number of prints to hang on your wall. If you want a large portion of your wall covered, measure first to see if the size/print combinations will cover that area before purchasing them. The last thing you want is for your posters to be wasted in an unused space.
